About the author
If the saying is true, that you are what you eat, then Emily is mostly comprised of coffee and cookies. If it were up to Emily, she’d have 20 children. Okay, maybe not 20, but a lot. And if her book, She is Charlotte, and work helps people navigate the hardships of life and provides some hope for them at their time of need, then she will be greatly satisfied.
Emily K. Whiting is the co-founder of Charlotte’s Hope Foundation, Inc., a non-profit organization that supports, encourages and educates parents and caregivers of children with medical complexities, embracing each family’s reality with an outlook of hope and empowering them as capable advocates for their child’s optimal quality of life. Emily also speaks and writes about God’s design for relationships and true intimacy, an intimacy meant to be so deep and fulfilling it leaves the world's idea of romance lacking.
She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in agriculture communications and minors in animal science and psychology. A farm
girl at heart, she used this professional training to build a career in beef brand marketing and loved it. But as life continues to evolve and circumstances change, this unlikely background proves perfect for preparing Emily for her career today, which is first and foremost, raising her sweet babies, secondly, coordinating care and advocating for her eldest child’s medical needs, and third as Executive Hope Director for Charlotte’s Hope Foundation.
Emily lives in Ohio with her husband, Dan, her three children and possibly the largest most loving extended family in the world. To get to know Emily and her work more, visit CharlottesHopeFoundation.org and EmilyKWhiting.com
